Buying an established web site is slightly more expensive then what some of you want to spend in order to start earning a living from home. But if you find the right web site it can be money very well spent. Established sites can sometimes go for as little as $100, simply because their owners have had to sell it for one reason or another.
Quickly some advantages of buying an established site:
- The idea, domain name, the design and some content is already taken care of and you don’t need to spend time or money in acquiring these.
- An established site will already have some traffic, people linking to it, be indexed by search engines etc. Read more…
Bukisa is a new site where you can share your knowledge and get paid. Although there is nothing new or revolutionary about this (I have a list of similar sites in other posts) Bukisa has an extra feature with lots of potential. You can refer users and create a network. A user that owns a network will not only enjoy the revenue sharing of their work, but will also profit from their network friends’ revenue sharing. A little bit like network marketing - the more people you refer the more money you can make.
The only problem at the moment is that as far as I can tell you can only invite people by email, not through a referral link. Which kind of limits your earning potential, or at least makes it a lot less automated. Hopefully they will introduce affiliate links in the future.

Becoming an online psychic is certainly not everybody’s cup of tea but for those who enjoy it, it is a choice that is very well suited to working from home. It usually involves doing Tarot Readings and giving advice either (most often) via the phone or by email, online chat or even video in some cases.
Where to offer psychic readings and find customers
On most sites getting started is simply a matter of registering and filling in your profile information. Once this is done you can concentrate on promotion and trying to gain new customers.

Ponoko offers some pretty cool services already which are worth investigating for the work from home crowd but now they have launched a new service called Photomake which I think is the most exciting so far. The great thing is you don’t need much technical knowledge or software to use it and anyone with an eye for design can create great products to resell at Etsy, Ebay, markets, etc.
Basically you can draw any design, either by hand or using software and Ponoko will turn it into a physical product for you with their laser cutting technology. You can watch a video of how it works and read a review at Mashable.
StudentOfFourtune is a homework help site where some people are earning good money by answering students’ questions. The most popular question category is maths but there are many other categories too including art and business. Many people are generating decent revenue by simply selling the same answers over and over again.
Something you might at first find confusing is that the word “Answered” is written next to most open questions. This means you can still answer them however and the buyer will choose which answer he wants to buy. He decides which answer to buy based on a small preview of answers available. Student Of Fortune acts as the broker and handles payment.
While this is a fairly new and not yet a very busy site, it is one worth keeping an eye on.
